While we were driving to the store one day we saw black clouds in the sky ahead of us -very black. Although we didn’t know exactly when, those black clouds were telling us it was going to rain soon.
While we were in the store, we heard a clattering sound on the roof. Such a racket! We wondered if it were possible that rain could make so much noise, so we all went over to the window to look. Sure enough, the parking lot was flooded, and the rain was coming down in torrents, harder than I’d ever seen rain fall.
Just as those dark clouds warned us it was about to rain, God is giving us dark clouds of warning that His judgment is going to fall on this sinful world very soon. Don’t be caught here when those clouds break! Come to the Lord Jesus now and be in a safe place. “Acquaint now thyself with Him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee” (Job 22:21).
